Jutland — British Tier IX destroyer.

One of the Battle-class destroyers. She was designed with consideration of the experience gained in World War II. She had a very powerful anti-aircraft defense due to enhanced AA automatic guns and main battery, which served its dual purpose in full.

Player Opinion

Performance

Jutland is the tier 9 British destroyer and is a development on the play style of her predecessor, Lightning in the role of a defensive destroyer. Her armament changes, between two dual and one single 113mm gun mounts on the base hull, and three dual mounts on the upgraded (B) hull. Two quintuple torpedo mounts completes Jutland's offensive armament.

One of Jutland's key strengths is her concealment. Her concealment is competitive against ships at her tier, able to compete with even the Japanese destroyers. Captains of Jutland should use this key strength to their advantage. With careful management of her position and concealment, Captains can keep hostile destroyers spotted, and control the engagement choosing when they wish to engage.

Her six 113mm guns despite being smaller than her predecessor, are an upgrade in most regards sporting a high base fire chance and fast reload of only 4 seconds. The ability to traverse her turrets a full 360-degrees aids her in keeping her guns on target while maneuvering. Jutland's armor-piercing shells also boast enhanced auto ricochet angles, enable her to better deal damage vs angled targets. Her torpedoes armament is also an improvement, now sporting a 10km range and ten tubes combined with a relatively fast reload.

Her excellent concealment allows her to lay ambushes against unsuspecting ships allowing her to control the engagement and to make effective use out of her Short-Burst Smoke Generator  and Short-Range Hydro-Acoustic Search . Jutland differs from the preceding ships being able to equip a Repair Party  consumable. The addition of this consumable provides her with added flexibility, allowing her to recover some health between repositioning and increases her total potential health. The relatively short smoke screen cooldown combined with an increased rate of acceleration allow her to swiftly reposition and the ability to recover some health compliments her in the role of a defensive scout.

Not everything is great for Jutland however, as her lack of the Engine Boost  consumable can slow down her ability to reposition and makes evading combat a difficult task. Because of this, Captains will want to take great care to stay near to their team to have support against any ships which may engage her.

Overall, Jutland is a ship which plays similar to the rest of the line. Captains will appreciate the improvements over the preceding ships in the line able to perform well in the defensive scouting role. She is a relatively strong gunboat backed up with very usable torpedoes and fans of gunboat destroyers will likely adjust quickly to her play style.

Pros:

Good main battery rate of fire and turret traverse speed.
Improved penetration angles with AP shells make them more effective against angled targets.
Torpedoes have good range and fairly low detectability.
Very good concealment.
The Short-Burst Smoke Generator  consumable has many charges and a quick cooldown.
Long lasting Short-Range Hydro-Acoustic Search  is an excellent defensive tool against torpedoes.
Access to the Repair Party  consumable.

Cons:

Jutland is a slow ship, and lacks the Engine Boost  consumable.
The smoke from her Short-Burst Smoke Generator  has a short emission time and duration. (This may have an upside: she won't be tempted to sit in smoke long enough for countering torpedoes to reach her.)
The Repair Party  has only two base charges, a good heal rate, but quite a small action time.
Weak AA defenses make her vulnerable to air attack.

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Jutland is as follows:

Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) (see above for costs). Research of this module unlocks progression to X Daring.
Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to GFCS Mk.IX mod.2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.

Captains should prioritize the upgraded hull first as this brings an increase in firepower, survivability, and maneuverability. After this, the range upgrade is recommended as the extra range can allow more flexibility in where positioning and targeting.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

As a hybrid destroyer reliant on her concealment, Concealment System Modification 1  is a vital upgrade which helps to reduce her detection. To further supplement her role, Main Armaments Modification 1 will help prevent her torpedoes and weapons being knocked out. Engine Room Protection is also vital. Aiming Systems Modification 1 is useful, for the decreased main battery dispersion and increased torpedo tube traverse rate, though Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 may be attractive to the more torpedo-minded.

The recommended upgrades for Jutland are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2 *
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 
Slot 6: Torpedo Tubes Modification 2 ()

Commander Skills

Key skills for Jutland commanders include your standard destroyer skills, Concealment Expert, Last Stand and Survivability Expert. However, to get the most out of Jutland, Inertia Fuse for HE Shells, and Demolition Expert are also recommended.

Consumables

Jutland equips the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Short-Burst Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Short-Range Hydro-Acoustic Search 
Slot 4: Repair Party

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Jutland with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Captains should equip combat signal flags to improve the ship's performance during battle. Sierra Mike (

) is highly recommended for the increase to the ship's top speed. Victor Lima (

) and India X-Ray (

) flags can be mounted to further improve upon the ship's main battery fire chance. India Delta (

) is also recommended to increase the amount of health that can be recovered with her Repair Party 

. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be equipped to increase the credit and experience gain of the ship.
